Question 544809: An obtuse triangle has an angle of 48 degrees. What is the range of possible measures for the other acute angle?

An obtuse triangle has at least one angle greater than 90 degrees.
There are 180-48=132 degrees left for the obtuse angle and the other acute angle.
The obtuse angle must be less than the remaining 132 degrees (to leave room for the other acute angle) and greater than 90. 90<0<132
That means the remaining acute angle is 132-132 0
